The Cal OES Safety Assessment Program utilizes volunteers and mutual aid resources to provide professional engineers and architects and certified building inspectors to assist local governments in safety evaluation of their built environment in the aftermath of a disaster. The program is managed by Cal OES, with cooperation from professional organizations.

Cal OES issues registration ID cards to all SAP Evaluators that have successfully completed the program requirements.

The “Good Samaritan Law” provides general immunity to volunteers, except in cases of negligence.

This program is necessary to become a certified participant in the program, and is one of several programs offered throughout California.
